The only reason Homan replaced Bovino as the face of the occupation is because his lies are more polished and he doesn’t dress like a member of the Third Reich in public. But the policies and the state instigated violence remain unchanged.
CNN: How did we get to a place where we had Bovino having Border Patrol agents stopping citizens in interior of the country, asking them ID, creating fear? Who made the decisions to allow this kind of operation to proceed?

HOMAN: The reason for the massive deployment is bc of the threats & violence

At this point, the predominant emotion so many of us are feeling is anger. Anger that people are being treated like this. Anger that our government is doing it. Anger that it’s doing it with our tax dollars. joycevance.substack.com/p/minnesota-...

It would be kinda cool if the FBI Director understood the Second Amendment and MN laws. Patel was wrong about MN, though some states ban guns at protests.

Patel w/r/t MN, “You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines, to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple.”
